Grey cops two-game rough conduct ban

VideoThe West Coast WAFL vice-captain's high bump Connor West left the West Perth youngster concussed.

Brady Grey will miss West Coast’s WAFL clash against Subiaco after he accepted a two-match ban for his bump which concussed West Perth youngster Connor West on Sunday.

The former Fremantle hard nut was in the air when he made contact with West’s jaw with his shoulder after the Falcons youngster took a mark across half-back, sparking a melee and causing a lengthy delay while he was taken off on a stretcher.

The 20-year-old took no further part in the match, with the incident graded as careless conduct, high impact and high contact.

The three-match rough conduct penalty was reduced to two with an early guilty plea.

West Coast have climbed from the bottom of the ladder into the top five in the space of a month with a stunning mid-season resurgence, winning four games on the trot.

Their next assignment is against WAFL powerhouse Subiaco after the bye, at Leederville Oval on July 27.

The two sides met at the same venue in round three with the Lions prevailing by 15 points.

The reigning premiers have only dropped one game since the 2017 grand final, going down to South Fremantle in round six.

Grey has been a handy contributor for the Eagles, averaging 18 disposals, six tackles and kicking five goals in 12 appearances.
